It's not so much the weed, it's the poor decision making with so much at stake. Wouldn't you want to at least fake it for awhile for generational wealth?

I think this is going to be more commonplace as the Pac-12 and Big XII fall further behind the rest. It also remains to be seen whether the ACC network is successful. There could be a G5, a P3, and a Super P2 in the Big Ten and SEC moneywise.

Did anyone tell him about the weather? I hope he signed the contract already.

Musselman, Oats, and Majerle If Dan D'antoni was a little bit younger I'd push for him too Slick Rick ending up in Vegas is too good of a story for it not to happen.

I wonder what odds are of replacing Cincy on the schedule in 2020? That's a clunker of a marquee game from Silent E

I'm thankful Nebraska is in the Big Ten. The future looks to me moneywise that the best place to be is in the Big Ten or the SEC. The money is going to significantly outpace what the Big XII and Pac-12 can do and it remains to be seen whether the ACC network is viable. That's huge for facilities, paying coaches, and recruiting. We have already seen signs of weakened recruiting for the Big XII and Pac-12. I'm also very thankful for Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. If it wasn't for their success, especially T.O. because of recency, Nebraska could easily be hoping the Big XII survives, otherwise they are staring at the Mountain West for an invitation. I also think Mizzou would trade places with the 'Huskers in a heartbeat. Academics, stability, leadership, prestigious universities are all great things about the Big Ten. Sure, it stinks that there are less schools for the average fan to drive to and baseball will likely never count again on the national stage. However, the positives far outweight the negatives and truth be told I don't really care about the Big XII anyway, the Big 8 was tradition and what mattered, not the Big XII. The Texas schools don't mean a hill of beans to me and Nebraska could not survive as an Independent. Notre Dame has a following of Catholics around the world. Look at Notre Dame's endowment compared to Nebraska's as another example where they don't compare.

Didn't he get poached by Nick Saban already? I thought he was at Alabama now.

Thanks for the clarification but what were the jobs paying per year? If Nebraska come through with a big boy offer in a big boy league...He's a competitor, at some point you would want to play the best, which I think most years is the ACC and Big Ten. WAC is probably close to the same level as UNO in the Summit League.

I like Thunder Dan at GCU. I think people would be excited over that hire, especially if he had assistants with good recruiting ties to the area. The chances of him leaving the state of Arizona? Not sure about that.

With his ties to Miles, I am sure Craig Smith at Utah State is probably not even on the radar. The Aggies are having a heck of a year though.

Yep, I thought Oklahoma would be a nice landing spot before the Grinch stole Christmas....er the job

800? that would even be about the same number of coaching analysts Alabama has.

Didn't Florida balk at Scott Frost bringing all his assistants? Maybe it was just a story for UF brass to save face?

Yes, and some of it is media desperation. I'm sure they noticed the purge at BuzzFeed and the seeming endless RIFs in the industry. It's got to be frustrating as a journalist or legit media member when terrible sites like Saturday Down South throw crap against the wall to draw attention and stir the pot, (the Frost buyout garbage is one example) and they aren't really penalized for it in viewership.

I have no problem with AD Moos putting football front and center for importance. It drives the bus. It's just like a CEO taking care of his million dollar customers with extra time and attention compared to a small customer who orders 5-10 K a year of widgets. I also like AD Moos is front and center and not afraid to be candid. Much better than Silent E who had a handler/gatekeeper to talk to him and mostly hid in his office. As for baseball, I'm not going to blame Erstad much. He's coaching in a mid-major baseball conference. It isn't going to change unless they move the season back a month or a month and a half. Fat chance of SEC and ACC agreeing to that. I also think if Coach Miles misses the NCAA tournament this year he his done and Moos will certainly be tempted to go in another direction if they flame out in the First Round.

I hope he goes somewhere other than the trash fire that is the Willie Taggart FSU program. Decent recruiter, subpar coach.

"Can you feel it" became an Amazon ad this holiday season. I don't blame them for changing it.

I don't care about smoking weed either, however I should be able to question his decision making process if he is choosing weed when he knows the negative repercussions for it in the state of Georgia and will hurt his immediate future.

I would agree and I would also say it's not a "slam dunk" they would make it in with two losses as an Independent. Depends on the schedule and whether they do away with the conference championship games to make the games played less of a factor. One loss or less for the Irish? Sure I'd buy that. I think the odds go up for inclusion with two losses if they would join the ACC fully.

I see he didn't sign early. I wonder if he is still on the fence or there are some academic hurdles to clear?

You are giving Notre Dame too much credit here IMO. I see them probably only qualifying twice in a decade at most, three times would be high water mark. They aren't at the level of Alabama, Ohio State, closer to a team like Washington. Plus they usually play a difficult schedule. I also expect there to be a qualifier for a G5 and some years there may not be a team that meets the metric.

Unless it's a HC job at a school with the potential for winning, he isn't leaving Lincoln IMO. (He wouldn't pull a Tony Samuel and go to Las Cruces as an example)

Job security wise, this would be a leap of faith. Richt's recruiting class this year was uninspiring and the recent history of the 'Canes is flaming out in the second half of the year. Good news is the ACC is darn mediocre outside of Clemson so lots of room for anyone in the conference to take the next step up.

Possibly, we saw the propaganda machine front and center from Peter Burns, Paul Finebaum, and Clay Travis after UGA lost. Maybe the Big Ten needs to start doing that with their talking hair? At any rate if 8 means that lowest SEC seed like LSU or Florida has to travel to South Bend, Indiana or Ann Arbor, Michigan in a hypothetical December game it is going to be great theater. SEC wonks claiming it is the strongest conference in the land crying crocodile tears over the weather will never not be funny.
